Chapter 241

However, having ancestors who are good at fighting does not mean that there will be descendants of great talents and great strategy. The Southern Chu lineage from Chu Mufeng is not as good as one generation after another. He has no way, extravagance and lust, and his wisdom is basically below the average level of the average person.It is said that Chu Mufeng took great pains to decide which of the three sons to pass on the throne to, and after more than ten years of research, he failed to come up with a result.In the end, Yang Gelao, the important minister of the court, awakened the dreamer. The old man with white beard and hair shook his head helplessly, and sighed: "Since the three are all equally stupid, it doesn't matter who it is for."

So, back then, when he dominated the southern part of the Chinese mainland, forcing Great Qin to retreat to the north, the capital of Xichuan was located outside the pass, and Eastern Qi did not have a province of its own. The largest empire in the mainland, Nanchu, turned out to be the next heir determined by drawing lots. .It is also for this reason that the land of Southern Chu has shrunk greatly in the past 300 years, and the national power has gradually faded. In the hands of Qin Zhiyan's father, he already needs to rely on the Eastern Qi to survive.

Perhaps, God will suddenly think of him one day after long-term contempt for one party. In short, in Chuli's generation, the blind God suddenly opened his eyes, and the balance of fate favored Nanchu again.The soul of the founding emperor Chu Mufeng was revived in the body of Chuli, the descendant of the great Chu. This prince of Southern Chu who has been hostage in other countries for many years and has gone through hardships has completed the great cause that his ancestors still dreamed of before he closed his eyes. It was brought back into the territory of Southern Chu.

In just one month, the Eastern Qi Dynasty has become the history of the Chinese mainland. The prosperous and prosperous dynasty in the past has now collapsed. Except for the Taiping King Qiyan who is still struggling to support the southeast coast, the rest all died in the country. In the family ancestral temple of Luxian Mountain.The Eastern Qi Dynasty was also divided into seventeen counties, which were unified under the control of the Southern Chu Emperor.

Different from the national concepts of the later generations, which are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the hundreds of years of war have left the common people with no sense of belonging. In their eyes, who is the emperor, and whether the country's surname is Qin or Chu has little to do with them. All they care about is what appeasement policies will be adopted to appease the people after the new emperor ascends the throne.

Therefore, under the leadership of Haishi Da Sima Dongfang Li, all the officials of the Qi State went out of the city to worship and present the national jade seal documents, Chu Li took over Dong Qi's territory of more than 100 million square kilometers with a strong force, and became The most powerful master among the Three Kingdoms.

The 300-year-long tripartite situation of the four countries was suddenly shattered, and the southeast generation, the situation changed, and huge waves surged.

On the day Chu Li received the letter, Qing Xia had already sneaked into Haishi City, the capital of the Eastern Qi Dynasty, under the custody of Qi An's subordinates.Compared with the free and prosperous commercial port of Cihai City, the imperial capital of Haishi City is much more dignified and magnificent.It is also because it is close to the coast, different from the massiness of Xichuan, the solemnity of the Northern Qin Dynasty, and the exquisiteness of the Southern Chu Dynasty. The architecture of the Eastern Qi Dynasty tends to be unrestrained and enthusiastic, and there are many foreign elements added.Walking on the street, in front of some high-end shops, you can even see frosted glass with not very good transparency, which made Qingxia amazed, and gave birth to a sense of familiarity out of thin air.It's a pity that she didn't have much time to appreciate the unique style of Dongqihai City, so she was rudely taken away and lived in an inconspicuous private house.

Here, Qingxia unexpectedly met a man she should be familiar with but had never met before, Zhuang Qingxia's biological elder brother - Zhuang Qinglin.

Just looking at his face, Qing Xia guessed the man's identity, she was sitting in the room, her hands and feet were bound by long chains, leaning against the bed post.Qi An knew her abilities very well, so the chain was not locked at all, but was cast directly on her wrist, no matter how she fiddled with it, it would be difficult to break free.

When Zhuang Qinglin came in, it was almost dusk outside, he was carrying a big tray, his eyes slowly turned to Qing Xia's indifferent eyes, hesitant to speak.

Qing Xia took the food naturally, and began to eat with big mouthfuls.No matter what the circumstances, she would never abuse herself to go on a hunger strike. Only by maintaining good physical strength can she seize the opportunity in the best condition when the opportunity comes and escape the predicament.She firmly believes that no matter what kind of defense it is, there must be loopholes, but she has not discovered it yet.

Zhuang Qinglin put the things on the table, sat opposite her, thought for a while, and finally said in a low voice: "Xia'er, I haven't seen you for a long time, are you okay?"

"Didn't your father tell you?" Qing Xia didn't raise her head, and said a little coldly while eating: "I'm not your sister, nor the real Zhuang Qingxia. So Qi An doesn't have to expect any ridiculous family affection from you Come to influence me, I will not obediently cooperate with you."

Zhuang Qinglin was taken aback, took a deep breath slowly, and said, "Xia'er, I know we are sorry for you, but now you are really the only one who can help big brother."

Qing Xia suddenly chuckled, raised his head slowly, and said playfully: "I'm really surprised, what kind of position do you take? Zhuang Dianru is determined to kill all people, to complete a unified king's plan, you It's his son, so there's no reason to drag Chu Li back at this time?"

"I will not dedicate my whole life for that kind of illusory ideal!" Zhuang Qinglin suddenly said angrily: "Father has been hiding it from me, and I thought he was really optimistic about Chuli, so he fled to Nanchu regardless of his family. It turned out to be the reason. He also planned to ask me to disclose this matter to Emperor Chu after his death, and then go to assassinate him, so that Chu Li would give up on his teacher, who is so kind to him, so I wouldn't be so stupid. But even if I don't do it, the members of the Dao Mohist Guild will do it, so I have to leave Nanchu and seek refuge in Dongqi. Xia'er, Chuli has hurt you so badly, we will use our plan and kill him, In the future, when Crown Prince Qi ascends the throne, we brothers and sisters will be honored and favored, do you want anything? Just listen to your elder brother."

Qing Xia looked at her so-called elder brother coldly, a sarcasm gradually appeared on the corner of her mouth, and said in a cold tone: "If Zhuang Dianru is a fanatical lunatic, then you are a complete villain. Your own prosperity and splendid future? Put away your fantasies, even if Qi An came to the throne, he would not reuse you, a capricious and ignorant villain. You were able to betray Dong Qi once with Zhuang Dianru. Can't you betray a second time? If you were Qi An, would you be so stupid to keep such a bomb by your side, ready to bite yourself anytime?"

Zhuang Qinglin's eyes suddenly became suspicious when he heard the words, but he shook his head suddenly and said: "No, he has already promised me, he said..."

"Stop telling me your nonsense!" Qing Xia said coldly: "If he can be believed, even a pig can climb a tree. What's more, it doesn't take a little skill to lie to a brainless idiot like you. Get out, I see you are very disgusting, don't appear in front of me again. Don't think that I have no power to fight back because I am locked here, I can kill Zhuang Dianru, how do you think you are better than him?"

Qing Xia's eyes were so cold, full of cold and sharp edges, Zhuang Qinglin opened his mouth several times, but couldn't speak, and finally retreated embarrassingly.

As soon as he went out, Qing Xia sat on the head of the bed weakly, her stomach was overwhelmed, and she almost vomited out what she just ate.In the past few days, she has forced herself not to think about the hidden turmoil behind this incident. If Chu Li is really plotted by Qi An, how should she deal with herself?The most urgent thing now is to escape here immediately to prevent things from happening.Her eyes couldn't help but glanced around the room, looking for something powerful to her, her eyes came to the candlestick on the desk, a bold plan suddenly rose in her heart, she weighed the heavy chain in her hand, she couldn't break free, Then you can only count on the person who locked himself up.

That night, a fire broke out suddenly in a commoner's home in the southern district of Haishi. The fire was not serious and was brought under control in time, so it didn't alarm the government, let alone arouse the slightest suspicion.

When he knew that the side cabin was on fire, Qi An was about to go to bed, recharging his energy to deal with important matters three days later.However, at this moment, the personal guard rushed in in a hurry and shouted: "Prince, the side room is on fire, Miss Zhuang is still inside."

Hurriedly rushing out, the fire was already very large, and everyone was still carrying buckets to put out the fire, Qi An was furious, grabbed a man by the collar, and shouted: "Go in, go in and save people!"

"Your Highness, Your Highness, Miss Zhuang's chain can't be broken!"

Qi An was furious, pulled out the sword from his waist, handed it to him and shouted: "Cut it off!"

The guard rushed into the room, and after a clear and urgent sound, he ran out again with a sad face, shouting: "Your Highness, keep chopping!" I saw that the sword in his hand had cracked several times and was almost broken.

"Idiot!" Qi An yelled angrily, grabbed the long knife from his hand, and rushed in with the knife in hand.

The wing room was already completely red, Qing Xia was dizzy from the smoke, she leaned weakly on the ground, coughing loudly.Seeing her, Qi An yelled, rushed forward, and slashed at the bedpost with a knife.

The pillar was so strong that it didn't break even after more than ten blows.Qi An was furious, straightened up, kicked vigorously, and only heard a bang, and the pillar broke completely.The long iron chain was dragged to the ground, Qi An ran forward, hugged Qing Xia, picked her up horizontally, and said in a deep voice: "Xia Er, don't be afraid, I will rescue you out."

Qing Xia fell into his arms softly and without bones, and nodded weakly.

However, as soon as Qi An's front foot stepped out of the door, a sharp copper branch of a candlestick pressed firmly against his throat.
